Bill > HB4915

This bill prohibits the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) and professional licensing boards from mandating implicit bias training as a requirement for obtaining or renewing professional licenses or registrations. Specifically, the bill prevents these agencies from creating or enforcing rules that would require health professionals to complete implicit bias training as a condition of licensure. The bill also rescinds a specific existing administrative rule (R 338.7004) that may have previously required such training. Implicit bias training typically involves educational programs designed to help professionals recognize and mitigate unconscious prejudices that might impact their interactions with patients or clients. By removing these training requirements, the bill aims to reduce administrative burdens on health professionals and give them more discretion in their professional development.
